Collins Hemingway's JA and the Creation of Modern Fiction
Still too high it's selling at Jane Austen Books (online bookstore) for $31. It will come down. I am going to the JASNa this year -- virtually. It's the only way I can. It is much cheaper virtually

New blog: Austen and death: widows & widowers; Ashford's The Mysterious Death
I've written a new blog about some reviews I'm working on, some essays published, and yet another sequel -- all out of Austen. The subject death, aging, illness -- and more neutrally water and spas in

Re: Austen and death
Thanks for remembering Cousin Eliot's wife. I had forgotten her. Yes, it is a significant death. Now, the absence of Mr. Clay is somewhat more ambiguous.. Some say she definitely is a widow with two

Re: Austen and death
Nancy, I would add to the list of deaths in Persuasion the death of Mr Elliot¡¯s wife (do we ever learn her name?), which sets off a second cascade of events in the novel. I agree the the early

Re: Ambiguity Careless & Intentional
Up until 1835 when it became absolutely forbidden, church law disliked marriages between a man and his deceased wife's sister, or a widow and her deceased husband's brother. However, there were no

It trivializes the story to dumb it down to a simple romance between Emma and Knightley - I would argue that the supporting character cast is more important in Emma than in any Austen novel - it¡¯s

I haven't seen the musical nor read anything about it except for the Convesation between Arnie and Ellen. However, I can see the story of Emma without Mr. and Mrs. John Knightley. There have been

Re: Ambiguity Careless & Intentional
Have you seen the musical, Arnie. Is Mr Knightley in it? If Gordin means "Knightly and Emma's brother and sister to mean Knightley's brother and Emma's sister, that is what Gordon should have written.
